Hong Kong entertainer Fui Chi leads sold-out cross-border fan trip to Zhongshan, receives “Best Spokesperson” award and surprise birthday celebration.
HONG KONG — Hundreds of devoted fans from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and overseas turned a routine tour into a roaring celebration this week as entertainer Fui Chi led a two-day excursion to Zhongshan, capping the journey with a special birthday bash and a major contract renewal.
The star, whose previous guided tours drew sold-out crowds, set off on September 12 with more than 600 followers in tow. The group travelled in high spirits, with fans trailing closely throughout the itinerary, creating a lively, congested scene at every stop.
What the crowd did not know was that the tour operator had secretly arranged a grand surprise for the occasion—one timed to coincide with Fui Chi’s upcoming birthday. During a lavish dinner banquet held as part of the trip, organisers paused the festivities to honour the entertainer on stage. Amid thunderous applause from the packed hall, a company representative presented Fui Chi with a “Best Spokesperson” award alongside a generous birthday gift. In a move that delighted those present, the travel agency also announced the official renewal of its partnership with the star, marking the start of a third consecutive year of collaboration.
Taking the microphone to express his gratitude, Fui Chi addressed the crowd directly, thanking the advertiser for its continued trust and, more pointedly, the fans who have followed him across cities and borders. “I am deeply thankful for every one of you who has walked this journey with me,” he said, promising to keep delivering quality performances and meaningful endorsement work.
The evening’s entertainment did not stop at speeches. Fui Chi performed a medley of his well-known hits, much to the delight of his audience. He was later joined on stage by special guest Kwan Ka-man, whose chemistry with the star was immediately evident. The pair delivered a high-energy dance-and-sing set that sent the room into a frenzy, with fans cheering, waving banners and recording the performance on their phones.
Organisers described the trip as one of the largest fan tours the agency has arranged to date, underscoring the commercial pull of Fui Chi’s personal brand. His ability to draw sizeable, dedicated crowds has made him a sought-after figure for cross-border tourism campaigns, particularly those targeting audiences in the Greater Bay Area.
Looking ahead, Fui Chi hinted at further fan engagement, revealing plans for an additional birthday celebration in Hong Kong. The extra event, he said, would give more supporters the chance to join in the festivities and continue the bond that has grown over years of tours, performances and public appearances.
For the travel industry, the success of the Zhongshan trip signals a steady rebound in group tourism and experiential travel, as organisers increasingly pair celebrity appearances with packaged itineraries to boost participation. With his contract now extended, Fui Chi is expected to play a central role in upcoming promotional tours, which industry watchers believe could draw even larger crowds.
